PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of acute alcohol intoxication on healing of colonic anastomosis. METHODS Thirty-six rats were allocated into two groups. Animals in the alcohol (A) were given 2 mL of ethanol diluted in 0.9% saline solution to a concentration of 40% by gavage immediately before anesthesia, whereas control (C) animals received 2 mL of 0.9% saline solution via the same route. A c...

The complicated interactions among tasks lead to iterations in product design and development. To maintain the market share, enterprises should effectively manage their product development project and bring their products to market as early as possible. The objective of the paper is to investigate how to analyze design iteration. Firstly, the improved parallel iteration model based on work tran...

A steady-state one-dimensional axisymmetric numerical model of a mechanical seal in two-phase flow is presented. In this work non-linear thermal implemented using coupled (monolithic) approach, linking the fluid film and sealing rings. It solved for temperature fields solids, heat fluxes between fluids enthalpy fluid, vapor mass fraction, Newtons method. The novelty approach lies 1) coupling 2)...

The computation of the inverse roots of matrices arises in evaluating non-symmetriceigenvalue problems, solving nonlinear matrix equations, computing some matrixfunctions, control theory and several other areas of applications. It is possible toapproximate the matrix inverse pth roots by exploiting a specialized version of New-ton's method, but previous researchers have mentioned that some iter...

Many problems can be solved by iteration multiple participants (processors, servers, routers etc.). Previous mathematical models for such asynchronous iterations assume a single function being iterated fixed set of participants. We will call static since the system's configuration does not change. However in several real-world examples, as inter-domain routing, both and change frequently while ...

In this paper we lay the foundation for a numerical algorithm to simulate high-dimensional coupled FBSDEs under weak coupling or monotonicity conditions. In particular, we prove convergence of a time discretization and a Markovian iteration. The iteration differs from standard Picard iterations for FBSDEs in that the dimension of the underlying Markovian process does not increase with the numbe...
